This candy has become the ‘Super Candy’. Pulse hits 300 crore sales in just two years!!

It seems that Modi ji’s ‘Make in India’ would soon turn into reality with a foundation laid by our very own Pulse Candy. A bright green candy with a liquid aam panna centre had suddenly jumped up to be a 100 crore empire within just eight months of its launch. Earlier, we didn’t even know that it existed but now we are sure that it has a way to go.

Pulse, a raw mango flavored tangy candy, was launched by DS Group, makers of Rajanigandha pan masala and Catch bottled water, in mid-2015. Within a month, the demand got so high that the roadside kiosks started selling it for a hiked 50paisa per piece.

Despite being launched in just 3 states, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Delhi—in a test-marketing drive in April 2015, the candy managed to break all records.

DS Group senior vice-president (new product development) Shashank Surana said: “Pulse is a highly scalable brand and it has resonated exceptionally well with consumers. The brand has huge potential.” DS is starting to sell Pulse in stores in Singapore, the UK and the US, and may also consider patenting its formulation, Surana said.

What we can comprehend is that ‘Desi’ can beat anything, perhaps this is the reason for Coca-Cola’s much advertised Coke Zero which was launched in late 2014 to just touch a sales figure of Rs 120 crore.

The sweet candy category is estimated at Rs 6,600 crore (hard boiled candies, mints and jellies), and is growing at 12-14% year-on-year.

It’s hard to pick as to why Pulse’s sale is rising over other brands, experts say that it is because of its innovative taste and incredible branding.
